Novus LogBox LTE: Multichannel IoT Data Logger – Real-time Remote Monitoring

Transform Your Operations with Seamless IoT Data Acquisition, Anywhere

In today's complex industrial and environmental landscapes, reliable data acquisition from remote or distributed assets is critical. Manual data collection is inefficient, prone to error, and often impossible in challenging locations. Traditional wired solutions are costly and inflexible, while Wi-Fi can be unreliable over long distances. You need a robust, autonomous solution that delivers real-time insights, no matter the location.

The Novus LogBox LTE: Multichannel IoT Data Logger is your ultimate solution for advanced remote monitoring. This cutting-edge device combines multiple input channels with reliable NB-IoT and Cat-M cellular connectivity, empowering you to collect, transmit, and analyse critical data from virtually anywhere. Designed for industrial-grade performance, the Novus LogBox LTE provides unparalleled reliability, ensuring continuous data flow to your SCADA or cloud platform via MQTT protocols for real-time insights, alerts, and historical analysis.

With its versatile inputs supporting a wide range of thermocouples, Pt100, and standard voltage/current signals, along with digital inputs for pulse counting or event registration, the Novus LogBox LTE ensures your data is always under control.

How the Novus LogBox LTE Works

The Novus LogBox LTE acts as an intelligent bridge between your physical assets and your digital world. Sensors connected to its multiple analogue and digital input channels continuously measure various parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, events, pulses). The Novus LogBox LTE then processes and stores this data internally with high resolution. Utilizing its integrated NB-IoT/Cat-M modem, it periodically transmits the collected data securely over the cellular network to a designated cloud-based platform or SCADA system using MQTT protocols.

Once in the cloud, the data can be visualized through dashboards, analyzed for trends, and used to trigger automated alarms or reports. The device's robust internal sensors for temperature and voltage, along with its internal buzzer and digital output, provide local feedback and control. This autonomous nature means it can operate reliably for extended periods, even in locations without local power or internet infrastructure, making it ideal for remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, operational optimization, and compliance reporting.
